Ironically, like Christie, LePage said he wouldn't be endorsing Trump earlier this month.

"I'm not a big fan of Donald Trump, although he should give me a stipend or he should give me a bonus about starting this whole thing about being outspoken," he told WVOM on February 9.

But much like Trump, as he alluded to in that interview, LePage is well-known for his provocative comments.

Last month, he made what many saw as a racially charged claim about the drug problem in his state.

"These are guys with the name 'D-Money,' 'Smoothie,' 'Shifty' — these types of guys. They come from Connecticut and New York, they come up here, they sell their heroin, they go back home," LePage said to a crowd, The Portland Press Herald reported.

"Incidentally," he added, "half the time they impregnate a young, white girl before they leave, which is a real sad thing, because then we have another issue we have to deal with down the road."

He doubled down on the comments following a near-instant backlash, but later admitted, after saying that he wasn't aware of the race of the people he listed, that he was in fact talking about African-Americans.
